For Brazen, it’s a really optimal running situation. Not too many people to create a crazy crowd, but just enough for it to be festive. The routes are always in parks, which is always nice with the scenery. And after the race, you get a medal and get to eat whatever it is that you crave.

It’s a great race with the route and the beach and ocean views. The various bands that play at every turn are a nice touch. However, it’s incredibly crowded. It’s worth doing at least once just to say you did it, but be prepared for crowds for the entirety of the race, before it starts, and after you finish.

There are a ton of people, and traffic is crazy. They close down major parts of downtown San Jose for the race. The scenery of the run isn’t anything special, since DT SJ is just buildings. The tech shirt that runners get is cool, as is the medal. The main attraction of this race is the environment, I would say. Lots of people, some dressed as Turkeys. A fun event.

It was a road race with few uphills and downhills. It’s a good challenge for first time double digit mileage runners because of the fact that the course isn’t too difficult. No race day registration or packet pickup. A cool medal and decent snacks afterwards.
